Chapter 573 (1/2)
BOOM!
When the fire blasted out of the 152 shi+pboard artillery, Iron Axe felt the steel shi+p he stood on wobble slightly
A few seconds later, a cloud of sn city wall, and then the roar quieted down for a while After all the sh the telescope and found that there was a now big crack in the lower portion of the stone wall
Different froe seldo located in the central south of the kingdoh as that of Longsong Stronghold The narroall at the top allowed only one person to pass, and they could not set up large defense equiponels Therefore, the Artillery Squad had expanded field artilleries to the open space 500 meters away from the wall
To uard Battalion could enter the city efficiently, Iron Axe decided to s in the city wall before action Any ene to fill in and defend the open spots would be bombarded ate and the north wall had been chiseled through, he would make a final command to attack once they seized the last entrance
[If only the witches could've coretfully It was a waste to use these precious shells on the stones
If Lady Nightingale were here, they would only need three packs of explosives to destroy the whole city wall After all, their defense wasCity's
He was ao, he had insisted that the army should complete His Majesty's task independently However, after conquering King's City with the help of the Witch Union, it suddenly occurred to hiht was to use witches as their eyes or commandos
”Sir!” a soldier on the observatory shouted ”Attention to the gate! They see horses!”
Iron Axe looked at the ruined gate through his telescope With liuely see the dust behind the wall
”Do I need to adjust the naval artillery and fire in that direction?” Van'er asked
”Not necessary It'll waste at least two or three more shells” He shook his head and said, ”Since they're horses, I think their plan is to gather knights and try to open the blockade line of field artillery through assault There is nothing to worry about While for you” Iron Axe turned back to see Countess Spear ”After this assault, I'hts left in your domain”
”They decided to stand on hts” She answered quietly ”That's the price they have to pay for their betrayal”
”I see” Iron Axe paused for a moment and said, ”Have you decided what to do with Redwyne Passi?”
Yesterday, he received a secret letter from the City Hall, which demanded all the noble except Spear's relatives to be escorted to City of Neverwinter Anyone who resisted would be executed on the spot, and their domain would be blocked by the First Army The officers from the City Hall would arrive and seize their properties
Based on that letter, the nobles would probably be sentenced to the hold Area lacked sufficient labor forces There should be hundreds of people, including family members, cronies and servants It appeared there would be more iron ores in City of Neverwinter this year
As for the culprit, Redwyne Passi, the letter instructed that he should be handed over to the countess herself
The hesitation on Spear's face showed that she had not hed in silence If he were her, he would chop off his head without hesitation Nothing was ivable than betrayal
”They're co aside these trifles, he continued to look at the battlefield through the telescope
As he had expected, a group of knights rushed out froe of the artillery field
The sound of gunshots suddenly echoed in the wilderness and forest Puffs of smoke floated in the air in front of the battlefield More than 20 knights and their squires fell down to theout less than 100 meters
